Caroline Tomlinson, Illustrator, Chicago

Description

This vertical black-and-white illustration features a hand-drawn alphabet rendered in expressive black ink on a textured paper background. Created by Chicago illustrator Caroline Tomlinson, the artwork displays stylized uppercase letters from A to Z alongside playful typographic elements, swirling symbols, and abstract line work. A decorative border composed of varying ink dots and organic fluid strokes frames the central composition. The ink exhibits characteristic pooling, subtle washes, and varied line weights from fine pen tips to heavier brush marks. The overall aesthetic is raw, illustrative, and deeply tactile.
